Car-theft Suspects Caught After Chase

September 18, 1985

Police chased two men suspected of being car thieves nearly 20 miles from Skokie to Maywood allegedly at speeds up to 100 miles an hour early Tuesday. The two men were captured near the Loyola University Medical Center. Police said they were part of a group of four in two cars seen by Skokie police in the 7400 block of Skokie Boulevard about 3:15 a.m. When police chased the two cars, one auto, which had been stolen in nearby Lincolnwood, crashed after only a few blocks, and the two occupants were taken into custody. The other car sped west and then south to Maywood before it was curbed, police said. The four arrested were Donald Wright, 21, and Herold Grant, 17, both of whom refused to give addresses; Leroy Livingston, 17, of 2112 N. Central Park Ave.; and a 15-year-old boy.
